Klaviyo & Postscript Integration

We don't replace your email team — we sync with them. Audience handoffs, lookalike seeds from VIP segments, abandoned-cart flow alignment, and post-purchase remarketing that closes the loop on your paid spend.

The Surge Method

Four phases.
Compounding returns.

A repeatable operating system, not a vibe. Every account follows the same four phases — but the levers we pull inside each phase are tailored to your funnel, your margins, and your offer.

01 / DIAGNOSE

Audit

Account-by-account forensic of your historical spend. We map the waste, find the leverage points, and rebuild your tracking before we touch a single campaign. Most agencies skip this. We never do.

02 / ARCHITECT

Build

Account structures, audience segmentation, creative briefs, landing-page wireframes, server-side CAPI, attribution stack. Foundations laid early. Tested fast. Iterated relentlessly.

03 / LAUNCH

Ship

Campaigns go live with full-funnel coverage and a fresh creative pipeline already in motion. Daily monitoring, weekly creative rotation, biweekly account-level optimization.

04 / COMPOUND

Scale

We pour gas on what's working, kill what isn't, and expand to adjacent channels once your KPI targets hit. The compounding-returns phase — and where we earn our keep.

In Performance Media
Built by Dillon

A senior on every
account. Always.

"Surge was built so a $500-a-month local shop and a $500,000-a-month brand get the exact same senior strategist — and pay the same flat $5 per lead. Pricing should never decide who deserves real strategy."

Surge Media is intentionally small. Three senior strategists, brands of every size, zero junior account managers. Every brief, every creative review, every QBR is run by someone who's already managed eight figures of paid media.

Founded in Mendham, New Jersey after years of watching small businesses get priced out of real expertise — and large brands get bait-and-switched into junior teams. Surge is the answer: senior-only, founder-led, performance-priced.

FAQ

The questions
worth asking.

01
Do I own my ad account?
Yes — always. We work inside your Business Manager / Google Ads account. You retain full ownership of the account, pixel, audiences, server-side tracking, and every creative we produce. If we ever part ways, you keep everything.
02
What's the contract length?
90-day initial engagement, month-to-month after. No long-term lock-ins, no auto-renewing 12-month deals. If we're not earning our keep, you walk — penalty-free.
03
Who actually manages my account?
A senior strategist — named upfront in your proposal, present in every weekly call. No bait-and-switch to juniors after onboarding. Most accounts run with Dillon as lead strategist.
04
Is there a minimum ad spend or business size?
No. We deliberately built Surge to work for brands of every size — local shops spending $500/month sit alongside national DTC brands spending $500K/month, and both pay the same flat $5 per lead. The only thing that changes between accounts is the channel mix and the volume.
05
How is your $5-per-lead model structured?
Pay-per-performance. You pay $5 for every qualified lead we generate — billed weekly, with full transparency on every record. No retainer floor, no markup on ad spend, no annual lock-in. We define "qualified" in writing during onboarding, tailored to your business (form fill, booking, demo request, etc.).
06
How fast will I see results?
Most accounts see meaningful CPA/ROAS movement inside 30–60 days. Day 1–30 is rebuild and stabilization. Day 30–60 is initial lift. Day 60–90 is when scale and compounding returns hit.
07
Do you handle creative?
Yes — strategy, briefing, UGC creator sourcing, and editing. We brief, source, and ship between 8–20 fresh creatives per month per account, depending on spend. You can also bring your own creative team and we'll build the strategy and run the buy.
08
What reporting do I actually get?
A live Looker Studio dashboard you can check 24/7, a weekly Loom recap from your strategist, biweekly strategy calls, and a shared Slack channel for day-of-day questions. Reports are honest — wins and losses, both.
09
What if it's not working?
We agree on KPIs upfront. If we miss them inside the 90-day initial engagement, you can exit penalty-free — no clawbacks, no contract enforcement. The work has to be the proof.
